Feature
Description
Improved End-point routings
between systems
Buyer administrators can configure end points in Ariba Network and Ariba Buyer to manage and control the
flow of data from an Ariba account to each of the various systems connected to it
VAT Tax Improvements
This feature extends “Support for Tax Detail Extrinsics” and “Support for 0% Tax Rate”
Queue Management for high
transaction volume processing
Queue management functionality extends the current concept of user group to establish clear ownership and
management of approval routing to groups of users.
Documentation: Ariba Approval Process Management Guide: Chapter 1: Approval Process Concepts
Enhanced Invoice Rejection
Handling
If users rejected an invoice reconciliation (IR), the status of the IR was set to Rejected, but the status of the
invoice document was set to Reconciled. For users who relied on the invoice document to review status
information, this caused confusion since there was no indication that the invoice had actually been rejected.
Improved Exception
Management tolerances
Invoice exceptions can now be defined to allow for absolute tolerances based on the difference between the
amount or quantity values on the invoice and the expected values on the associated purchase order or
contract
